*************************************



The goal of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and 
Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is to provide a forum for sharing the 
latest research results, ideas and experiences in autonomic computing, 
self-adaptation and self-organization. ACSOS was founded in 2020 as a 
merger of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing 
(ICAC) and the IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and 
Self-Organizing Systems (SASO). For more up-to-date news, follow us at

*** Challenge and Scope ***

Emerging large-scale systems (including data centers, cloud computing, 
smart cities, cyber-physical systems, sensor networks, and embedded or 
pervasive environments) are becoming increasingly complex, 
heterogeneous, and difficult to manage. The challenges of designing, 
controlling, managing, monitoring, and evolving such complex systems in 
a principled way led the scientific community to look for inspiration in 
diverse fields, such as biology, biochemistry, physics, complex systems, 
control theory, artificial intelligence, and sociology. To address these 
challenges novel modeling and engineering techniques are needed that 
help to understand how local behavior and global behavior relate to each 
other. Such models and practices are a key condition for understanding, 
controlling, and designing the emergent behavior in autonomic and 
self-adaptive systems. The mission of ACSOS is to provide an 
interdisciplinary forum for researchers and industry practitioners to 
address these challenges to make resources, applications, and systems 
more autonomic, self-adaptive,  and self-organizing. ACSOS provides a 
venue to share and present their experiences, discuss challenges, and 
report state-of-the-art and in-progress research. The conference program 
will include technical research papers, in-practice experience reports, 
posters, demos, and a doctoral symposium.We invite novel contributions 
related to the fundamental understanding of autonomic computing, 
self-adaption and self-organization along with principles and practices 
of their engineering and application. The topics of interest include, 
but are not limited to: - Autonomic and Self-* system properties: 
robustness; resilience; resource efficiency; stability; anti-fragility; 
diversity; self-reference and reflection; emergent behavior; 
computational awareness and self-awareness;


- Autonomic and Self-* systems theory: bio-inspired and 
socially-inspired paradigms and heuristics; theoretical frameworks and 
models; formal languages; queuing and control theory; requirement and 
goal expression techniques; uncertainty as a 1st class entity


- Autonomic and Self-* systems engineering: reusable mechanisms and 
algorithms; design patterns; programming languages; architectures; 
operating systems and middleware; testing and validation methodologies; 
runtime models; techniques for assurance; platforms and toolkits; 
multi-agent systems;


- Data-driven management and artificial intelligence: data mining; 
machine learning; in-network learning; distributed reinforcement 
learning; data science and other statistical techniques to analyze, 
understand, and manage the behavior of complex systems or establishing 
self-awareness;


- Mechanisms and principles for self-organization and self-adaptation: 
inter-operation of self-* mechanisms; evolution, logic, and learning; 
addressing large-scale and decentralized systems;


- Socio-technical self-* systems: human and social factors; 
visualization; crowdsourcing and collective awareness;


- Autonomic and self-* concepts applied to hardware systems: self-* 
materials; self-construction; reconfigurable hardware, self-* properties 
for quantum computing; - Self-adaptive cybersecurity: intrusion 
detection, malware attribution, zero-trust networks and blockchain-based 
approaches, privacy in self-* systems;


- Cross disciplinary research: approaches that draw inspiration from 
complex systems, organic computing, artificial intelligence, chemistry, 
psychology, sociology, and biology, and ethology.


We invite research papers applying autonomic and self-* approaches to a 
wide range of application areas, including (but not limited to):


- Smart environments: -grids, -cities, -homes, and -manufacturing; - 
Internet of things and cyber-physical systems;- Robotics, autonomous 
vehicles, and traffic management; - Cloud, fog/edge computing, High 
Performance Computing (HPC), quantum computing and data centers;- 
Internet of Things;- Hypervisors, containerization services, 
orchestration, operating systems, and middleware;- Biological and 
bio-inspired systems.

*** Best Papers *** We intend to continue the tradition of giving the 
best papers of the conference an opportunity to publish an extended 
version in a special issue of ACM Transactions on Autonomous and 
Adaptive Systems (TAAS). The Karsten Schwan Best Paper Award will be 
awarded to a selected paper.

*** Submission Instructions *** *Research papers* (up to 10 pages 
including images, tables, and references) should present novel ideas in 
the cross-disciplinary research context described in this call, 
motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. 
*Experience Reports* (up to 10 pages including images, tables, and 
references) cover innovative implementations, novel applications, 
interesting performance results and experience in applying recent 
research advance to practical situations on any topics of interest. 
*Vision Papers* (up to 6 pages including images, tables, and references) 
introduce ground-shaking, provocative, and even controversial ideas; 
discuss long term perspectives and challenges; focus on overlooked or 
underrepresented areas, and foster debate. Research papers and 
experience reports will be included in the conference proceedings that 
will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and made available as a 
part of the IEEE Digital Library. Vision papers will be part of a 
separate proceedings volume (the ACSOS Companion).Please see

requirements and review criteria.
